LS-450 Series Blue LED Pulsed Light Sources
The LS-450 Series Blue LED Pulsed Light Sources are compact, low-cost light-emitting diodes that produce
pulsed or continuous spectral output at 470 nm – the blue region – for high-sensitivity emission fluorescence
measurements.
The LS-450 light source can be combined with other sampling optics for a variety of fluorescence applications.
The LS-450 series consists of the following light sources:
•
LS-450 (stand-alone version)
•
R-LS-450 (rack-mount version)
•
R-LS-450-2 (rack-mount version with 2 LEDs)
•
USB-LS-450 (connects directly to USB spectrometers, documented separately)

Power supply
Connecting the LS-450
To connect the LS-450, follow the steps below:
1. Plug the wall transformer into a standard 110V outlet.
2. Connect the power cord to the power input on the LS-
450.
3. Connect an optical fiber to the SMA 905 connector on
the LS-450.
4. Connect the other end of the optical fiber to the SMA
905 connector on your spectrometer or sampling device.
Operation
To use the LS-450, connect the light source by following the instructions above, then proceed:
Using Continuous Mode
To operate the LS-450 in Continuous mode, follow the steps below:
1. Move the switch on the back of the LS-450 to the “contin” setting. This means that the light coming out of
the LS-450 is continuous.
2. Move the switch on the back of the LS-450 to the “off” setting to turn the lamp off.
